This picture of the Nowitna River in Alaska shows two oxbow lakes – a short one at the bottom of the picture and a longer, more curved one at the middle-right. The picture also shows that a third oxbow lake is probably in the making: the isthmus or bank in the centre of the most prominent meander is very narrow – much narrower than the width of the river; eventually, the two sections of river on either side of an isthmus like that tend to break through and create a new, straighter course; a new river bank then starts to accumulate, sealing off the meander and leaving another oxbow lake.

A meander develops into an oxbow lake
A crescent-shaped lake formed near a flat-valleyed river when one of its meanders becomes pinched off and isolated.
A Horseshoe or oxbow lake near Hughes, Arkansas, on the border between Arkansas and Mississippi. The bulges in the border reflect changes in the course of the river; when the river shifted its course and cut off the former channel, the border remained unchanged.
